Seas0nPass cuts the cord for 5.0.1

Today we are happy to release a brand new version of Seas0nPass that provides an untethered jailbreak of the latest 5.0.1 (iOS 5.1.1) software for the 2nd gen Apple TV. Massive thanks goes to @pod2g and Co. for the countless hours that went into making this new release possible.

Update 6/6: Seas0nPass has been updated to support the new 5.0.2 Apple TV software.

Superb! Where can I get it?

Excellent work guys. Worked perfectly first time.....which for me is a first as I have always had issues with the restore in iTunes. This time it worked first time. Great work and many thanks.....just the ATv 3 now please chaps B-)

How do I update to the new Apple TV look and feel with the icon look. I've updated my Firecore software via AppleTV 2's manage firecore settings on the AppleTV, but my main screen AppleTV 2 software still shows the old look and feel before the updates rolled out earlier this year. When I go to Apple TV settings menu and click Update Software it says my software is up-to-date. I think Firecore blocks it from being updated? right? How do I get new look and feel?

I was also just looking to see if there was an update and half hour later , bam, I get the email.

Thank you guess so much for your work. I love you guys!

Also, to back up your current xbmc, basically all you can do is go into the settings, and export your library to import on the new one. But you need some firm of network storage to put it on while the new software is installed then copied back with the file manager.

Sounds like a pain in the ass, but is better than having to redownload all the meta data for your library, especially if it's the size of mine and takes 2 whole days!

Then just reinstall your skins, repos add ons...etc and your good to go.

I think I can get from a clean install back to my custom setup with all library info, skins and add ons in about 20 minutes.

Don't go crazy guys, it wasn't firecore team that provided the new jailbreak it was pod2g. All firecore team had to do was incorporate it in their software. Cool work nonetheless but they didn't discover the vulnerabilities and they are NOT the ones working on aTV3.

beware guys! some atv 2 boxes will cause problems when unplugging and trying to reset!
this will cause an endless reboot and getting stuck at "updating" in itunes or getting numerous itunes errors.
i had to try it 10000 times until it magically worked.
it is still a big risk using jailbreak with seasonpass.

when I open the new Season Pass and tell it to create a new IPSW, it downloads AppleTV2,1_5.0_9B206f_Restore.ipsw... is this the newest ipsw version? or should it be grabbing one that says "AppleTV2,1_5.0.1"??
